Fundamentals of Physics: Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics R. Shankar
Publisher: Yale University Press

Quantum physics does away with the pesky inconvenience of time I think that you misunderstood zero-point energy in quantum mechanics. A good resource He also has a (much longer) essay which clarifies many points of confusion with thermodynamics -- but which I must emphasize is not an introduction to thermodynamics; his points wouldn't make sense without a preexisting context of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. That physics is called quantum physics. Posted in: Physics, STEM video clips, Students, Video. Feb 15, 2013 - We review the question whether the fundamental laws of nature limit our ability to probe arbitrarily short distances. Feb 20, 2014 - Another relevant theoretical idea that bore fruit in our modern world is Quantum Mechanics (QM). First, we examine what insights These models have entered the literature under the names of generalized uncertainty principle or modified dispersion relation, and have allowed to study the effects of a minimal length scale in quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, thermodynamics, black hole physics and cosmology. It means lowest energy state but not zero energy (ie, energy in a sense of nothingness). The equations of motion are For a long time physicists thought that this irreversibility was caused by “initial conditions” but now almost all physicists accept the fundamental nature of the irreversibility. They were pursuing fundamental research with no concern as to whether texting might someday become a staple of human culture. Aug 3, 2012 - We can prove e.g. Boltzmann H-theorem that in classical mechanics entropy always grows but making time symmetry of the system we would get opposite conclusion - contradiction. Oct 10, 2010 - Time as Motion In Classical Mechanics (branch of physics dealing with macroscopic objects), past and future play the same role in the description of the motion. Feb 15, 2012 - The wonderful (I use the term advisedly) thing is that thermodynamics and relativity are not the underlying truth of the Universe; they are just special cases of a more fundamental physics. Jul 18, 2008 - This week, I'm writing on those topics which caused a revolution in the science, and distinguish modern physics from classical: relativity and quantum mechanics. Such "theorems" for time symmetric evolution need to Time symmetry of GRT provides great thought experiment to understand "conflict" between time/CPT symmetry of fundamental physics and asymmetry of thermodynamics. This course covers Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, gravitation, thermodynamics, and waves. In physics irreversibility is known as the “second law of thermodynamics”. Jan 12, 2011 - Emphasis is placed on problem solving and quantitative reasoning.
